Mystery Valley Golf Club

I've always loved this course. Course was busy and they didn't have enough carts. We had to wait an hour past our tee time to get one. Caused us to not get 18 holes in. The clubhouse manager gave me his card and said to call and he'd take care of us next time. Very kind and aware. I'll go back. Fun and challenging course at a good price.

The course is in good winter shape. There are small bare spots on the greens, but the greens roll very well. The pace of play was slow (4:40) due to everyone trying to get out for a round in great winter weather. Not perfect, but very playable.

Pros: Super friendly staff, efficient and responsive. It’s a huge course and usually takes us 4+ hours. A good amount of bathrooms. You will likely see herds of deer from the 12-15th hole.

Cons: No cart service for beverages. No Course Marshal. There are patrons that are not mindful of their slow pace. I’m all for having a fun and relaxing day, but standing at the pin and continuing to chat rather than move on is just plain disrespectful. In the winter, you have to start by 1:00 bc the sun goes down quickly at 5:30.

I'm not sure why it cost this much to play this course. The greens have got to be the worst in the area. Big craters on every green. This course is in BAD SHAPE. A true waist of money!

Showed up to play a short 9. Dwight was extremely hostile and didn’t want to deal with anyone that day. He said cart return was at 5pm which was not a problem for us since it get dark early in Dec. Instead of working with us he decided to turn us away. Wasted 2 hours driving to and from the course on a nice Saturday afternoon. This is probably the 4th or 5th time this course has been a disappointment.

Staff friendliness was ver good. Course layout is nice and I I like that you can hit out of the fairway and still find your ball. Greens were full of marks and bare spots. I also learned players don’t repair divots. Poor grade for customer service. Apparently on Mondays no food or drink are offered. Really?

Did not even get a chance to play so left. Granted it was a busy time since it was the day before Thanksgiving and I was 10 minutes late getting there, but it took 45 minutes before the next available cart came in.and there were two groups ahead of me. They should have stopped taking reservations after 1:00 PM or should have been more aggressive with slow players. Sorry won't be back

Hour behind, no carts, couldn’t honor our reservation. Didn’t get to play golf because the place is so poorly run.

This is the first course I’ve played in a long while that actually maintains their bunkers. I enjoy the beach more than most others, but only if the sand is soft and fluffy like it’s supposed to be. They redid the bunkers earlier this year or late last year. They seem to actually take pride in their course, nice change. I only gave it 4 stars because of the old carts and snack bar. They need to broaden the beer selection and keep hot dogs a little fresher.

Wow, I was impressed with this county course. It was my first time in my 53yrs, I wish I hadn't waited so long to find it. The employees working the clubhouse and carts were super nice and helpful. Clubhouse was well kept and now the course review. The greens are big and so low cut there like putting on a table, fast, not that I minded. The fairways are nice and wide, I hit my driver a lot off most tee boxes. So I'm short I'll be back to play here often.

I hadn’t played Mystery in over 12+ years, and my expectations were relatively low as I grew up playing this course as a kid and in high school so was aware of its typical condition and really just wanted to play it again to reminisce, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with what I saw. Now...not to overhype the course, it’s still mystery valley so you have to be realistic with your expectations, but for $40/50 not that bad. The greens, which is most important to me, we’re overall pretty solid. There are a few greens that have bad spots where the grass has died and you may have to shift right/left a foot or two to avoid it, but didn’t end up really being a problem in our group. They rolled pretty true but we struggled to dial in the speed, downhills you had to be cautious and uphills you had to smash it, and be firm with 5ft’rs. If they can get the fairways popping in the spring I will definitely play it more often. Overall: if you haven’t played it in a while go check it out, but again don’t set the bar too high, you get what you pay for. Some of these reviews are over the top, they want to pay $40 and get EastLake conditions, get real...
